School spirit is good. I have some school spirit. I am in band. In band we have to have a lot of school spirit. Our band teacher makes us. Our whole school has a lot of school spirit, minus a few people who are boring.
So every homecoming week we have a day at the end of the week called spirit day. Spirit day is very fun. Usually our school day is a full day, but this year it is a half a day so the whole day is spirit day. Usually we have classes in the morning then spirit day after lunch. So at the beginning of the day the band goes up to the band room to get our instruments. Then we walk through the hallways playing the school song and everyone comes out of their classrooms and lines the hallways and claps and cheers. We walk all up and down the stairs a few times and it gets pretty tiring. Then everyone files into the large gym and the band goes in and plays pep band songs while people are filing in. Once everyone is finally in, the band can go sit down in our class sections. Usually some classes dress up as black out or white out. This year the senors are doing white out and the juniors are doing black out. White out and black out are when we all dress up in black or white. It looks really cool when everyone has the same color shirt on. Some people go crazy with what they are wearing.
Once everyone is in the gym, the cheerleaders do some cheers, the poms people dance, and last year the teachers did a dance. It was hilarious. Then people who are doing a lip sync do it. Sometimes its pretty funny, sometimes its just dumb. Then we start the games. Some of the games we play are balloon stomp, tug of war, hike and pass, refrigerator box race, baby bottle race thing, and a bunch of other stuff. We play classes against each other and girls against girls, boys against boys. It is really fun. My freshmen year things kind of got out of control, so last year the student officers (I am class secretary) had to have talk with the whole school before the festivities began saying that we should all have good sportsmanship and everything. Last year everything was fine, and I think this year it will be okay too.
